Juicing your way to good health – Carrot, Radish & Tomato Juice
A simple vegetable juice recipe for a busy mid-weekday. When I saw these cute looking red radishes at Bollywood Veggies (picture below), I couldn’t resist buying some. Finally decided to make fruit juice out of them because it’s easy and also nutritious. One seldom see radishes being added in a fruit juice and I guess it’s because their taste can be quite sharp & spicy when consumed raw. The trick is not to add too many radishes, and blend them with cherry tomatoes and carrots as their natural sweetness will balance out the overall taste.
Beautiful red radishes I bought from Bollywood Veggies – so fresh they still have their leaves on
According to this site, “Radishes can be beneficial to our health as they are sources of Potassium, Magnesium, Vitamin C, Iron sulphur and Amylase. Radish juice has been used for treating skin conditions, asthma and sinus problems.” I just think that it is yummy, so when it’s also healthy, I think that’s a great bonus ;)
Ingredients
(Makes 1 glass about 250 ml)
– 1 to 2 carrots, peeled and cut to chunks
– 15 cherry tomatoes (can substitute with normal tomatoes)
– 2 red radishes (can substitute with other types of radishes, about 70g), peeled and cut to chunksDirections
1. Just blend everything in a fruit juice extractor and consume as soon as possible.
what a wonderful way to have lots of vegetable!!
I adore veggie juice… my personal fave is celery and tomatoes. Don’t have a juicer though, I should definitely invest in one since le hubby and I are trying to improve our eating habits. Your recipe looks yummy!
A juicer is really a nice investment for healthy eating. The alternative way such as squeezing the juice through a cheese cloth sounds like a hassle to me!
oops.. i just tried, i wish i didn’t add in radish, I can’t explain how I feel, but the “spicyness” of raddish make me headache now.. :'(
I’m sorry to hear that you had a headache! I’m not sure why raw radish gives you one, maybe you are allergic to it somehow. You can try the carrot+tomato combo or like Marysol has suggested in her comments, carrot+orange juice combo next time.
No problem, I will be extra careful with raw radish next time. Thanks for the recipe.
Hi, I’ve heard that if we are able to consume 5 different colour fruits/veg weekly, it works great for our bodies. Now that you’ve covered 3 colour scheme for the juices, would you be able to create another 2more? Say yellow, & blue?
